Proposal for a new proton injector for LINAC2

The CERN proton Drift Tube LINAC (LINAC2) has been serving as proton injector to the PS Booster for over 20 years. In 1992 the pre-accelerator (composed of a 750 keV column and a double buncher system) has been replaced by a Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ2) able to be accelerated excess of 200 mA o...

description The CERN proton Drift Tube LINAC (LINAC2) has been serving as proton injector to the PS Booster for over 20 years. In 1992 the pre-accelerator (composed of a 750 keV column and a double buncher system) has been replaced by a Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ2) able to be accelerated excess of 200 mA of protons. 160 mA-proton beam are delivered to the booster during normal operation, 180mA during high intensity operation. Although this value is satisfying for the future LHC operation, a larger margin would be welcome ( 180mA for production beam, 200 mA for high intensity operation). In this note we propose a solution to improve the overall performance of the CERN proton LINAC (LINAC2).
